I have Hyper M.2 x16 Gen 4 Card with i7-9700K,ASUS z390-P. TWO Samsung 970 Evo Plus 500 GB ssds are installed. Installed it on the 1st PCIEx16 slot, as instructed in manual. Hyper M.2 is enabled in BIOS but only 1 970 evo plus is showing in disk management. Wheres the other drive ?!

May I ask how did you know ? It does not say it in the manual.

Did it work? I'm curious

 

Intel only lets you split the x16 on their mainstream platform to x8x4x4 instead of x4x4x4x4 on some other platforms. There is also a compatibility guide somewhere that lits all the boards it works in and how many drives you cna use.

Yes, the 2nd 970 Evo Plus showed up in disk management. BUT now, may I ask how do I set them to be RAID 0, cuz when I CrystalDiskMark it, its still at speeds of ONE 970 evo plus.

What os are you using? Is this your boot drive? I'dsetup software raid in your os, probalby storage spaces on windows, or mdadm/zfs on linux

My boot drive is WD nvme drive and im running windows 10 Home. Whats software raid you recommend ? And how do I do storage spaces ?

I'd use storage spaces here. Search for storage spaces in windows and you can setup an array.

I just did it, but how come the read / write speeds of both drives are not added together, when tested with CrystalDiskMark. I used Simple (no resiliency).😟 what is going on ?!

You need to set the column size to 2 to get the full performance. Unfornatly I think this still needs to be done in powershell. So remove the current virtual disk, then use new-virtualdisk -columnsize 2 and set all the other paramaters.

I don't follow. Im not doing virtual. Im using actual drives. 😲

when you use storage spaces, you make a storage pool with all the drives, then you create a virtual disk to store all the data on. You need to set the correct number of columns to get the most performance.

I am so lost. I can't find any tutorials on this. Can you help ?

So delete the current virtual disk first with 

 

get-virtualdisk | remove-virtualdisk

 

Then get the storage space friendly name with get-storagepool

 

then create a new virtual disk with 

 

new-virtualdisk -FriendlyName 'raid0' -ResiliencySettingName simple -UseMaximumSize -NumberOfColumns 2

 

That should make a virtual disk that gives you the full speed.
